nice pictures tommy
it was seriously windy for us today
trying to prep up an oversite and the labourer took off with a 80mm sheet of celotex
it knocks the bollox out of you working in the wind

The turf should take just fine Tommy. Grass is normally totally dormant at 6deg or lower so lack of light and water doesn't harm it. I've got away with much worse.
when are you pointing up those coping stones haggi? :;):
just out of interest i see you have laid edging blocks on screed but they are against brickwork and drainage abutments
is this necessary?
I normally only lay blocks on sand and cement if its a free edge,
cheers LLL
will point them soon LLL .. i always have layed my edges on a wet screed or a concrete bed and haunch free edge or not. is this overkill? or not good practice?
i have done it both ways,but that method i use more for a screed board on paths etc
if the subbase is good enough there should be no need for edge blocks first
also when you wack it the edge blocks may spall if they are on concrete
looking good anyways
LLL
good point but i just like to screed my bed off solid edges and run my whacker just over the edges until the main blocks are flush this method has'nt let me down yet i know there are quicker ways so ill have to give them a try in the future but i know this works for me and thats why i have done it this way for years
thats exactly the way i do it haggi, probably right with the overkill statment but like you i like to run my notched 4x2 timber over my blocks instead of the aco. set it our ways probably. to old to change and all that.
i use lines and electrical conduit now,and as the saying goes I've never looked back
horses for courses, but time is money etc etc
looks great though,thats the main thing
